A process reads PATH once, at startup, so the shell the installer ran in can
never resolve ncp. The ending now says that and closes the window. Uses
Stop-Process -Id $PID rather than 'exit', which only closes the window when the
host was started with -File.

'Press Enter to close' closed nothing when run from an existing shell, and
closing unconditionally would kill the caller's session and any transcript in
it. Adds an -OwnsWindow switch passed only to the elevated run the script starts
for itself; that run may close its own window, a guest run returns quietly.

PowerShell resolves ExternalScript (.ps1) ahead of Application (.cmd), and both
lived in the directory the installer puts on PATH -- so in PowerShell `ncp` ran
the .ps1 and was execution-policy-bound again, the exact thing the .cmd exists
to avoid. Its other justification (giving ncp to pwsh on Linux) stopped being
true once /usr/local/bin/ncp existed: pwsh runs a PATH symlink to a shell script
as an Application. A test now prevents the file coming back.

Piping winget to Out-Host defeats its carriage-return redraw, so every spinner
and progress-bar frame lands as its own line. Filters the frames, keeps the
messages. Block characters spelled by code point to keep the file ASCII.

taskkill writes to stderr when the process isn't running, and with
$ErrorActionPreference = Stop PowerShell 5.1 promotes native stderr to a
terminating error (2>$null doesn't prevent it). The normal case -- Ollama not
running -- threw and printed a failure warning for work that had succeeded.
Uses Get-Process | Stop-Process instead.

winget draws its progress bar with UTF-8 block characters, but PowerShell
decodes native output using the console codepage (437), turning each block into
three Latin characters and burying the real messages. Sets
[Console]::OutputEncoding to UTF-8 in install-windows.ps1, and chcp 65001 in
ncp.cmd for the check marks and em-dashes ncp.py prints.

Ctrl+C in PS 5.1 kills the whole script, and the multi-GB model pull sat in the
middle -- skipping the download also skipped the ncp PATH registration and the
desktop shortcut. Moves the pull after them. Also drops the pipe that buffered
ollama's progress bar (a running download looked like a hang) and replaces a
try/catch that native commands never trigger with $LASTEXITCODE checks.

Ports the ncp PATH work from upstream. Registering ncp as a shell-profile
function failed three ways on Windows: the default Restricted execution policy
blocks the profile itself, profiles don't exist outside PowerShell (cmd, Win+R,
Task Scheduler), and the self-elevating installer writes the admin's profile.
Windows now ships management/ncp.cmd and the installer appends management\ to
the Machine PATH via [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable -- never setx, which
truncates PATH at 1024 chars. A .cmd is exempt from the execution policy.
Linux symlinks /usr/local/bin/ncp -> management/nexus-cli.sh, falling back to
the old .bashrc function when sudo is unavailable.
Also renames requirements-wsl.txt to requirements-windows.txt and purges stale
WSL references, including vite.config.js's dev-server comment and
controlpanel.py's "Check WSLg." error string.

management/ncp.py replaces the bash CLI's logic; nexus-cli.sh and the new
ncp.ps1 are thin wrappers, so Linux keeps its entry point and Windows gains one.
psutil handles process and port work on both platforms.
install-windows.ps1 registers ncp in the PowerShell profile. The panel VPN
switch now resolves its WireGuard connection through NetworkManager instead of
a hardcoded name, and the .ps1 ASCII guard globs rather than naming files.
